Definition- Deforestation is the act of cutting down trees in large quantities to make room for roads, grazing, agriculture, and any other means which requires a great clearance of trees. It involves a mass destruction of the forest. This process is carried out by using forest fires and heavy machinery. New technologies are allowing for quicker and more effective ways of clearing a forest. Cutting down trees occurs in every corner of the globe, but the areas which are suffering the most due to deforestation are that of the world's tropical rainforests. The tropical rainforests throughout the world are an important ecosystem which are vital for the functioning of our planet.
